London, Nov 7 : In a bizarre incident, a UFO was spotted shooting red beams of light to the ground as it hovered over Bristol in South West England.

The mysterious craft and the flashing beams were recorded on the mobile phones of Shellie Williams, 20, and her mum Betty, 53.

The duo also caught the red and white vertical beams, which were not visible to the naked eye.

For care worker Shellie, who watched from outside her home in nearby Hartcliffe, it was a very eerie incident. "It was bizarre and I was quite frightened," the Sun quoted her as saying.

Her mother Betty, who was also spooked by the incident, reported sighting more than one.

"Through binoculars you could see clusters of lights," Betty said.

"They seemed to form a circle and were attached to something. It freaked us out," she added.

The two ladies were not the only ones who saw the bizarre incident, along with them was their neighbour Tony Jefferies, who stated that he had seen the lights go on and off for two weeks.

Both mother and daughter pinpointed the lights as having been close to a radio mast on Dundry Hill.

But air traffic control at Bristol International Airport said that it had no reports of "unusual activity", and the Avon and Somerset police said their helicopter was not out and they had not had UFO reports.
